Hi All - New forum member in Hoboken NJ

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

New member here. Originally from Australia, I moved to NJ about 10 years ago. I was put onto the great forum by two members I met during my first visit to Sarco Inc.

I'm a CJRPC member, and typically shoot IPSC, steel match, 5 Position Clay and the CMP events. I love reloading ammo, and have a weakness for mil surplus firearms; the weirder the are, the more appealing they become. Maybe it's the smell of age and cosmoline that does it...

Talk to you all soon!

Thanks for hooking me up with this forum. I'm eager to get back to Sarco; there was more cool stuff to check out than I could fit in one visit. See ya 'round!

Welcome to this forum! I too am a CJ member and there is a Garand shoot coming up. I collect Garands and 1911s.

 

I love the CJ Garand shoot. I've taken a few of my non-shooting friends to prior shoots and they're hooked. One has even submitted for his own CMP Garand. I'll be travelling during the next shoot, but I'll definately be there for the following one.

 

I'm also a 1911 fan. I have a Colt Series 70 that I imported in from my Australian collection before all 45s there had to be handed in for destruction. (No grandfathered gun laws there, that's for sure)

 

I'll keep an eye open for you on the firing line og the following Garand shoot.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.

 

I spent about 4 years working in PNG and spent a lot of my time off in OZ. Where are you from?

Nice! I'm from Perth. Like many Australian's I've always wanted to visit Papua New Guinea. The Kokoda Track and WW2 battles there hold a lot of historic and cultural significance for Australia. Did you get much opportunity to explore PNG?

Cheers,

Leth

I stayed in Freemantle with friends for a week. Only spent 1 day looking around Perth.

 

Really didn't explore PNG. I lived in an oil camp in the Southern Highlands and got to see the area from the air while flying heavy-lift helicopters in support of oil exploration. Very pretty scenery.

    • I took down a deck that was attached to the house with a ledger board.  That area now needs to be re-sided.   Its a tough predicament because its such a small job, its only like 24 inches high by about 12 feet wide.  After 3 phone calls last fall i actualy got the guy who built the house to come by, he said "sure, i can do it when i get some down time".   I havent heard from him since. i get it.  its a small job.  I'm a pretty handy guy and out of desperation i could probably watch youtube videos and figure out how to patch this by myself but i think id get lost on trying to match the color and i only need a small amount of material i'd have no idea where to buy a small amount.  So i'm gonna try here if anybody knows a vinyl siding company who wouldnt mind doing what i suppose would be a 30 minute job.  I am fully aware that i would need to have his fee make it worth while for the project even though its such a small patch job.  
    • Thanks for the offer @High Exposure and hope you’re doing well.  I’ll be back in just under 2 weeks and we can all work something out. 
    • I bought the stainless Rossi lever carbine in .357 a few years ago, to match a bush rifle caliber to my revolvers. I'm pretty sure I paid under $400 at the time. Shoots sweet, reliable, more than accurate enough. When I was shopping for it I kept running into comments on gun forums (not this one, iirc) criticiziing the action compared to the Henrys, but I've never shot a Henry lever gun, and I guess I'm too dumb to notice any issues.
    • Interesting discussion. I have plenty of large, tall trees that I could affix antennae elements to . But then I'd be at the mercy of wind and lightning. Of course, a falling tree could easily take out an adjacent tower as well :-) My biggest mental obstacle with installing a tower is how to get all the pieces up the slope to the install point. A new tower is no doubt a pretty big expense, but I see them on FB Marketplace regularly for fairly cheap, provided the buyer takes the thing down.
